Pink Mycena

These delicate mushrooms are quite small. The caps measure just  0.5 to 1.5 centimeters in diameter. They are often found growing on decaying wood, such as fallen branches or rotting logs. Some species of Mycena, including the Pink Mycena (Mycena rosea), are known for their bioluminescent properties. In low light conditions, these mushrooms can emit a faint green glow! Mycenas contribute to the biodiversity of forest ecosystems by playing a role in the decomposition of organic matter, helping to recycle nutrients back into the environment.
